For the project he used a Raspberry Pi running SiriProxy, which listens to his iPhone and performs commands based on what it says.

The hacker said of the project:

"I spent countless nights dreaming of the day I could use voice commands to control my home, but I was still under a long term contract on my existing iPhone. I already had been experimenting with IP2IR control in various forms, but the controller I use in the video seemed to offer the most features which the manufacturer added a REST API in March 2012."

The whole project is open source, so you can head over to GitHub and download the code for your own use.
